Tag Archives: Adelita’s Way

Another busy week, with one re-entry and four new songs debuting in my weekly Top 40 on Spotify. Like always, it’s the best of today’s rock hits with all the non-rockin’, pseudo-rock alternacrap removed, replaced with more deserving songs.

Dropping off the Spotify list this week:Rivers – Chevelle, Where’s Your Money – Bleeker, Livin’ Free – The Wild, The Last Day That I Cared – The Letter Black, Replaceable – CKY

For the larger (nearly 200 songs) YouTube version there’s over a half dozen adds including new music from Trivium, the next single from Seether, new music from Great White, and more. You can find it at this link

Two songs break into my weekly Top 40 on Spotify with the latest update. It’s the best of today’s rock hits with all the non-rockin’, pseudo-rock alternacrap removed, replaced with more deserving songs.

For the larger (nearly 200 songs) YouTube version there’s over a half dozen adds including the new single from Demon Hunter, Adelitas Way, a Michael Sweet album cut, and more. You can find it at this link

And I thought last week had a surprising amount of movement. A minor shift here, a new single there, a couple of strong debuts, and suddenly I find myself with SEVEN new entries in my latest Weekly Top 40 on Spotify. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see at least some of the songs there were bumped make their return sooner rather than later however.

Missing songs this week:
None

Every week I share several playlists of hard rock here on the blog … my Spotify Top 40, my current YouTube playlist, even a Spotify “Back Forty” for those who are really in the know. Those are determined in various ways which I’ve explained elsewhere here on the blog.

Despite all that, I don’t say much about what I’m actually listening to and enjoying the most. You know, the songs that I immediately crank up whenever they come on Sirius Octane or that I make sure to play when I start building a queue in Spotify or that I sing (badly) randomly as I go about my day.

Sometimes they’re already hits, sometimes they’re hits about to happen, sometimes (sadly) they’re simply awesome tracks that for one reason or another never get a whole lot of attention from the rest of the world. Some turn out to be favorites for weeks and months on end, others have a shorter shelf life. In any case, I just thought it would be fun to occasionally forget about charts and singles vs album cuts and anything other than just plain ol’ “what I’m loving right now”. Of course there’s more songs than just these that I’ll turn up if you try to talk while they’re on but I figure I have to have some sort of limit to how long this post gets.

In no specific order, here are 10 songs that I’m definitely cranking up a lot right now

After the debut of 12 new songs in two weeks on my Spotify list, things slowed to a more reasonable pace this week, with 4 new entries & of course 4 songs dropping out . Currently just 3 songs of my personal top forty currently unavailable on Spotify
